Dear friends,
Communities should control their police departments - not local governments. Far too often, the relationships between ordinary citizens and the police officers from whom the aforementioned citizens are looking for various types of assistance find thenselves caught up in conflict, due to the very real fact that the two parties have different interests.
On the link below is an article that makes this point quite clearly. It involves the local police response during the deadly hurricane that was called Katrina.
